Denise, very cool video. What did you mount the panels on and how ? Please give a little more details.
[2012-03-01 04:46:46] garmonzick - @LawrenceHill I ...@LawrenceHill I just got the it a month ago and it taught me how to build a world class solar panel in just 2 hours and half. And by the end of the month, my electric bill was saved almost 70%. Im happy about it! PS= you got the site name spelled wrong. Here's the correct one: GreenEnergyNow.info

It saved 80%-90% of Material and Costs! It swims to, also can be used to grow up Foot for Aquaculture! Full Waterproof also, and a complete Solar Revolution! SEE ALSO THE FIRST SOLAR LED FOOTBALL STADIUM LIGHTS! Have a look on my Chanel, if you like my Products! It is Patent Pending! With my Invent its first Time possible to use Solar technology in Areas where they now Solar only from TV!

[2012-01-21 18:51:08] robinclark8989 - Commercial Solar ...Commercial Solar Panels are too Expensive (Around $300 for a 100 Watt Solar Panel) Your Only Option is to Build Your own Solar Panels There is an Engineer from Chicago that explains it All You can find his web site by Searching Google for...

[2011-11-26 16:46:33] DarwinsFriend - ...Manufacture - I ......Manufacture - I pay for them... If you paid the actual cost you'd be really pissed off.
[2011-11-26 16:45:15] DarwinsFriend - ...can you say made ......can you say made from recycled materials and then recycle when done Hmmm novel concept... Problem is - coal is used to burn the recycled materials back into something you can use - and that's in mainland China. One new coal plant is being built there every two weeks. You see the supplier - that's a very limited perspective. You have zero clue as to the poison being spewed into the atmosphere and landing on the soil - to go into people's drinking water. You're a solar sap.
[2011-11-14 19:18:38] DarwinsFriend - The actual "value" ...The actual "value" of these new technologies and not being cognizant of the actual human cost, is much like diamonds being pit mined in Africa. If I can buy it at 'Kay Jewelers' for 1/2 the price elsewhere - why should I give a damn? Same - same with all sorts of solar panel production. Nobody bothers with where the ingredients come from to make them and damn well don't care where the waste from such activity goes - even in 25 years when the panels give up the ghost. Nothing is free children.
[2011-11-12 20:08:29] bodryn - Well, I guess your ...Well, I guess your function here is to keep us all apprised as to the social implications of these interesting new technologies. I usually go elsewhere if I want to discuss the political, economic and sociological aspects of new technologies.
[2011-11-12 14:25:00] DarwinsFriend - ... I'll let ...... I'll let somebody else be concerned on how expensive something is going to be... How liberating and obtuse at the same time. Expense isn't just monetary - and I'm sure your vast world-wide experience affords you that key knowledge. Things require materials. There are now seven billion of us on Earth that want those things. Many don't even know they want them; they just need to be sold and signed up for "the program." The pollution in getting the materials and disposing of them?
[2011-11-12 14:17:48] DarwinsFriend - ... I kinda worry ...... I kinda worry about folks who are always seeing the negative sides of new technology... I understand. And that's a valid concern. To a point. Please read my previous post once again and focus on the word "balance". It's the key to my eight decades of experience. With 65 years in the manufacturing and aviation industry, I've seen technology come and go - all with varying prices to be paid for the bells and whistles - and the "Wow Factors" associated with supposed advancements.
[2011-11-11 22:48:42] bodryn - I am not concerned ...I am not concerned about huge housing tracts; I am concerned about how individuals can use their own creativity to make use of technologies. I've been doing that for years, using my own ideas as to how to make use of them. I'll let somebody else be concerned on how expensive something is going to be. I am also very interested in flexible LCD screens which are being promised. They'd be great because something flexible will be much less subject to breakage.
[2011-11-11 22:45:49] bodryn - I kinda worry about ...I kinda worry about folks who are always seeing the negative sides of new technology. There are always people who say things like "it can't be done" or it can't be practical. And then you always have economics coming up in some responses. IMHO, there are always plenty of naysayers out there who like to pooh-pooh new things, but in my case I am interested in possible applications of these things. I think flexible solar panels were long in coming, and people can use them.
[2011-11-11 16:16:07] DarwinsFriend - Indeed - there are ...Indeed - there are specific and economical applications, no doubt. As with wind generated installations - a balance has to be reached regarding how much pollution will be generated in the manufacture and eventual disposal of said generation system. Nothing lasts forever and considering it has been said that 5 million (3' x 6') solar panels would be required to fully power 100,000 four bedroom homes - it's going to be a while before huge housing tracts can be successful at this game.
[2011-11-11 02:32:35] bodryn - I'm visiting in a ...I'm visiting in a small city, which one could maybe call "urban", I don't know. However, I can see a nice use for solar panels for people with gas-electric hybrids that would like to partially charge their vehicles even where there are no plug-ins available, like here. I can also see how solar panels on vehicles could be useful for people with gas engines who just want to make sure their car batteries are kept charged even after parking for a long time. Such as here.

[2011-11-10 15:28:49] DarwinsFriend - ...I can think of ......I can think of lots of situations where solar panels would make a lot of sense... Yes - so can many people. And as I stated - using them remotely makes perfect sense. Four urban applications they're a long term nightmare. Environmentally and economically. Power generation on the edge of a major metropolis is much more controllable and upgradable. When solar panels (not the type being humped in this video) are installed they reflect light and require maintenance after 20 years.
[2011-11-10 04:04:32] bodryn - Interesting ...Interesting statement, but if you don't back up what you say, how do I know your opinion has any validity? I can think of lots of situations where solar panels would make a lot of sense.
[2011-11-10 04:02:27] bodryn - @mrabuckten This ...@mrabuckten This may be true, but for people who just want to know how to install this panel, must the proper jargon be used which could be confusing? I have used these to fasten 110v wires together for various purposes, but never knew them by name at all. "Wire nuts" is a term I could at least easily understand.
[2011-11-04 15:28:13] DarwinsFriend - Solar Panels - ...Solar Panels - from the time of their manufacture, installation, maintenance and disposal - are an economic fallacy. If you're remote - they're great. Everywhere else - they're a joke.

[2011-10-22 11:17:27] Klubkid69 - I haven't noticed ...I haven't noticed any combiner boxes with breakers/fuses/etc on your systems, is this something you would recommend? I had build a system awhile back and didn't worry about it because it was small but am not starting to add more panels to it and would like to know what's a good way to set a combiner box up as the voltage and amperage are increasing on my system, well voltage b/c I am having some panels on the same strings. It'd be cool if you did a vid on this, but lemme know if you can help

[2011-10-17 04:07:55] 8digitPDX - OK, so I got two of ...OK, so I got two of those long flexible panels from a guy on ebay, and tested one today, it is pushing the 40+ volts, which according to the label on my 300 watt grid tie inverter is too high for it. What do I do now? Get a different GTI? Put s ome sort of voltage reducer on the line?
[2011-10-17 03:44:00] UlfrIronwood - Keep the price per ...Keep the price per watt the same, but make sailboat sails out of this stuff and it would sell hot.
[2011-10-17 00:35:55] ledmission - Hi Folks, i think i ...Hi Folks, i think i see a flexible Solar panel??? And for that huge Size only 230 Watts??? Its a good one! To see a real Solarrevolution go on blablabla.solarpanellights.de.tl or click here on my Name and see the future from Solar lighting right now. I think i need some new Clips with my Wife to show how it works. She is hot to.
[2011-10-14 01:09:20] jbbauer0 - I want to build a ...I want to build a house out of those containers. Saw it on tv, they put some side by side, can stack them, do all sorts of neat stuff.
[2011-10-08 16:32:58] hulkhatepunybanner - Solar power chicks ...Solar power chicks are hot. That mormon commercial played before the video was idiotic. "I believe this planet was made for US." Probably the most narcissistic statement ever uttered. He singlehandedly beat everything ever said by Muhammed Ali - and it wasn't even for promoting anything.
[2011-10-08 05:57:39] donyunger - $2.5K! what's the ...$2.5K! what's the advantage in bothering to purchase one? Here you can enclose the same amount of area using conventional construction for a lot less.

[2011-10-05 12:45:48] callmeshane303 - I'd cover the wires ...I'd cover the wires and fill the wire nut with Vaseline - if they are pointed cap up, and out of the suns UV - the connection will stay good almost indefinitely.
[2011-10-04 01:03:16] 88roro11 - haha good point.. i ...haha good point.. i didnt even think of refrigerator containers.. do you know where they sell those types of things?
[2011-10-04 00:59:51] dgr8zod - Wire nuts don't ...Wire nuts don't last long outside.. A weatherproof junction box, or soldering and shrinkwrapping will go for as long as the panel..
[2011-10-03 22:01:47] Petawatt - you know, they do ...you know, they do sell Insulated shipping containers. They sell extra tall, refrigerated, open top, and extra wide door versions too
[2011-10-03 21:57:19] Petawatt - Since the USA is a ...Since the USA is a importer of cheap plastic crap, there are an excess of containers. The price probably tracks the scrap metal value. Although around here, the 20 foot ones are almost as expensive. The smaller ones are probably more in demand by contractors though. A 40' one should weigh about 9k lbs. and steel is at 10-12 dollars per 100lb. at the scrapyard. Of course, if you were selling 100 containers at a time you should get a better price.
